I (and the rest of my four stack) were just nice to our bad pub fifth player and we won despite a really bad start from him. I feel like I paid back my karma debt from my terrible Rhasta game from yesterday so now I can go back to being a
ing shithead.

Carry Ogre is both hilarious and apparently legit
Legit if they get as lucky as you with those multicasts.
Yeah I watched.

Not that surprising. Most people would rather be the roaming killer than the dependable support player. I have played most my games as a carry but I still play supports every so often, and weirdly enough think I probably have a higher win rate in the support role (according to 2 pages of DotAbuff 8-4 with supports and 9-10 with hard carries, 2-5 with utility/semi-carries). People misunderstand how important Supports are ot a game. I think I've gona 3-1 as EarthShaker the last week or so because landing good Fissures guarantees easy kills.

I only get scepter if the enemy has two or more summon/illusion heroes (phantom lancer, nature's prophet, chen, meepo, etc.) that can tank the damage of chain frost, and deplete the bounces. In almost all other situations, veil, force staff, sheepstick, necro and pipe are better pickups.

Did you see my fucking triple kill at the mid rax? Finished em all off with right clicks and cleave

I'm well on my way there in solo. Already there in party.

What the fuck is with Tinker now anyway? He's the same as ever, annoying piece of shit, but now he's getting picked a lot for some reason. I want to say manaless blink, but that has been a while and the surge is somewhat recent.
And yes Tech, I watched everything. Who did you suck off to get those multi? Early game you multicasted stun brew, and your next stun on Slark was another multicast.

I practice Ogre at least three games a day. Get on my level. I don't even notice the multicasts anymore I'm so used to them

I play supports because they ARE the roaming killers, while the hard carries just stay in lane for the first 15 minutes to lasthit creeps. Supports also tend to have way more exciting and creative skillsets (earthshaker, lich, witchdoctor, warlock, venomancer, etc.) that allow for a lot of interesting plays, rather than having a bunch of passives and a straightforward nuke (looking at you, antimage, sniper, wraith king, etc.). There are some carries with early game fight potential and exciting skills, but I just find the stereotypical 2/3 passive, need to farm farm farm all day hard carries kinda boring.

How can low priorites do this

Whenever I have team fights they either time the stuns perfectly so there is no chain or the order is all reversed

the problem is that you need to pick heroes that can deal with him or rape his team in order to win. usually, you can deal with heroes by buying some sort of item. once he has blink, there's nothing you can do about it if you don't have the right heroes. even hex doesn't take care of it. it's stupid. either he shouldn't be allowed to shift queue blink into trees, or there needs to be an item that can break trees in an area of effect

I think casting machines revealing him in a small aoe would be a sizeable nerf. Or machines not interrupting blink.

I wonder what an itemized version of Shadow Shaman's shackles would be like

even if march didn't interrupt blink, he can still be anywhere in the trees. again, you'd need flying vision to see him, which requires batrider/beastmaster etc.
i mean, they limit ember spirit's remnants to 3, and they can serve basically the same function as tinker's rearm + boots of travel + shift queue blink once ember has his battlefuries. and ember is still vulnerable to hex/silence at times. without a specific item to cut down a bunch of trees, that hero is just stupid

I mean the thing they really need to fix is the bugged Blink/Rearm interaction.
I think this will be a more sizeable nerf than people realize.

I remember when me and another person were the only ones left, I was VS and he was Sven. We got fat super fast, but he was worse because he got like daedalus with bkb in 15 or so mins. Then 2 rapiers and Assault Curiass.

I remember having a loss like that as well when I first started playing Dota. It can actually be somewhat difficult to deal with if the team with 2 has the right heroes to take advantage of the bonus gold. Not to mention that in my earlier days I didn't really understand the concept of split pushing, so our team kept trying to man fight them.
Was their name some form of NaVi and/or Dendi and were they using the F2P Pudge set?

Played Lion as a support and had the worst support game of my life. The Riki I was laning with was part of the 3-stack whine squad so I muted him almost immediately, but I felt like I could've done more that game and I have no idea what I should've done differently. Any tips?

Well rubick does have an instant cast animation for hook, so much easier to do it with him.
In other news, hook as a skillshot, is overrated. Just get a blink dagger on pudge and be useful anyway. use the hook to secure the kill when they try to flee from you (mostly in front of you).

Rubick hooks are so ez. Coming from someone that can't hook for shit.

Whoops. Typo fixed.
Hook hooks are easy, but you miss one and your team won't stop giving you shit all game. I don't like pudge though

40,000 XP gap in 40 minutes? Jesus. Not much you do about that.
Not surprising considering that Ogre Magi have good growth with a free buff that makes him hit faster.Carry Ogre is both hilarious and apparently legit
This should be replace with word "skillful"
For events you go with what works, is available, or what is cheap.
Practice area. Surprised they didn't go for the mini steam machines, why alienwares?
Could be left overs from other events or machines in stock from Valve. Dell is good for same business day support and warranties, or they are doing some kind of sponsorship.

Maybe Xboct should give 'space creating carries' like Bloodseeker or Bristleback a try. I think Funnik would appreciate playing Clinkz as well if he did that.

I gotta say, I finally came across a team that got all INT early game heroes and pushed hard. They beat us in 24 minutes taking everything and im not even mad. I am actually impressed! Pub games usually never have this level of coordination. Granted my team didnt speak english but I doubt it would've mattered. We didnt really pick any anti-push and a bit heavy on the carry side but thats OK for the traditional pub game
Goblak will be coaching Na'Vi at TI4 and maybe beyond.

Will do! Will take time, though - my upload speed is horrendous until i finally get my upgrade.
Btw, the next game that inkls sent me is up. Thanks for the tip as usual! Not my best casting and audio, sorry. Now my setup finally works perfectly.
Btw one of the last games i casted was an ARDM, which i realized about when the game was half-finished. I admit i was a little bit tired, but my cries of "where did that hero come from" and "why are there 40 kills at the beginning of the game" were pretty entertaining (and embarassing) afterwards.
I actually get these games every once in a while in All Random. Most of the time you get a support only draft people realize what they have to do. These games also tend to be great fun because it's usually ganking all over the place and immediate pushes whenever an opportunity arises. I don't even care if we end up losing these games because most of the time everyone on the team has given everything and you end up losing because they managed to get their carries online. AR is the best.

lmao Dota 2 trench stories are hilarious
By the way, how likely is Void receiving a nerf in the next patch? He's my go-to-hero in ranked at the moment. I feel he's the best solo Q carry easily.
Interesting. He is a very strong drafter for sure.
My go to ez wins carry is doom. Love the drama when i call mid and pubbies be like "doom mid rofl go woods noob gg". Then i carry their ass with my early mek team fight oriented doom.
